AAVE Token

The Aave protocol is migrating from its native LEND token to the AAVE token, as detailed in Aavenomics. The AAVE token is an ERC-20 compatible token with the addition of a snapshot feature (used in governance balance tracking) and integrates EIP 2612 permit function, allowing gas-less transactions and one transaction approval/transfer.
This section will cover the technical aspects of the token and token migration. For governance, security, and incentive details, see the Aavenomics documentation.
The source code for the AAVE token and migration can be found on Github here.

When integrating, only the proxy contracts should be used.

LEND to AAVE migration
The LEND to AAVE migration will occur via user initiated actions, using the LendToAaaveMigrator contract. This can be performed in our app or by calling the LendToAaveMigrator contract directly.
For each amount of LEND migrated, amount/LEND_AAVE_RATIO of AAVE will be redeemed. The LEND_AAVE_RATIO is set at the time the contract is deployed and can be fetched by calling LEND_AAVE_RATIO() on the LendToAaveMigrator contract.
When the governance proposal for the token migration passes, the LendToAaveMigrator contract will be enabled. This is estimated to happen at Block 10978863.
Important considerations
Since the AAVE total supply will be lower than LEND total supply, the LEND_AAVE_RATIO must always be greater than 1, causing a loss of precision for amounts of LEND that are not multiples of LEND_AAVE_RATIO. For example, a person migrating 1.000000000000000022 LEND, with a LEND_AAVE_RATIO == 100, will receive 0.01 AAVE, losing the value of the last 22 units of LEND. For more details on the reasons for this approach, see the Github repo.
migrateFromLend()
function migrateFromLEND(uint256 amount) external
Migrates a certain amount of LEND to AAVE.
The user must approve() the amount for the LendToAaveMigrator contract to migrate, before execution.
Parameter
Type
Description
amount
uint256
The amount of LEND to be migrated
_totalLendMigrated()
function _totalLendMigrated() view public
Returns the total amount of LEND that has been migrated to AAVE.
Return Parameter
Type
Description
_totalLendMigrated
uint256
The amount of LEND already migrated
event LendMigrated()
event LendMigrated(address indexed sender, uint256 indexed amount)
An event emitted when a migrateFromLend() executes successfully.
Parameter
Type
Description
sender
address
The owner of the LEND and migrated AAVE
amount
uint256
The amount of LEND migrated
AAVE Token
As mentioned above, the AAVE token is an ERC-20 compatible token with the addition of a snapshot feature (used in governance balance tracking) and integrates EIP 2612 permit function, allowing gas-less transactions and one transaction approval/transfer.
Besides the standard ERC20 token features (transfer(), balanceOf(), allowance(), etc), the following features are also available.
permit()
function permit(address owner, address spender, uint256 value, uint256 deadline, uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s ) external
Allows a user to permit another account (or contract) to use their funds using a signed message. This enables gas-less transactions and single approval/transfer transactions.
Parameter
Type
Description
owner
address
The owner of the funds
spender
address
The spender for the funds
value
uint256
The amount the spender is permitted to use
deadline
uint256
The deadline timestamp that the permit is valid. Use uint(-1) for no deadline.
v
